i agree ronm...i am not a shotgunner or smoke poler, it doesnt matter to me. u can still killl a nice deer. it only take 3-4 days of no shots being fired and they will peek out of those places to look for some BADUZZY. nov is always hot and guys kill huge deer with shotguns...remember....scout hard and get that place that u know will have a good pop of does and u can get that buck...doe or whatever...dont give up because of 8 additional days of firearms. i do understand your point about the research or stats not being done.
